Good Morning. Here's a little update on our Owl Pellet find from yesterday. After letting the hair ball pellet dry out for a couple hours, it looked a bit more appealing...no that's not the right word...approachable? Sure, we'll go with that.
We set up our tools - two pairs of tweezers, toothpick, magnifying glass, paper towel and a petrie dish for viewing. We slowly started pulling apart the bits of fur and collecting all the teensy, tiny bones. We found teeth, claws, a skull, and many small bones. It was amazing how much was packed into that small mound.

Little L has done this project at school a couple times and found it fascinating...it became a bit of an obsession goal of mine to try and find pellets in nature. So what a score yesterday when we found not one, but TWO! We sent the other pellet home with our friends (much to their Mamas dismay) and can't wait to see what they found!
